Answer:
The depth of the damage is given as
Explanation:
From Fick's second law
Where
is the temperature when the skin is damage
is the initial temperature of the skin
is the temperature of the oven
erf is a mathematical function known as error function
D is the thermal diffusivity
x is the depth of the damage
From the question we are given that
= 62°C
= 33°C
D =
Substituting values into equation one
Let assume that
Hence
Looking at the table of error function shown on the first uploaded image
We can use interpolation to obtain the value of z in this manner
z = 0.96
Substituting the value of z into equation 2
